Having gained 10 years’ experience in the paint industry Pat McDonnell sensed an opportunity – one founded on simply providing the highest possible level of service to all Customers. In 1977 Pat & Cora McDonnell opened their first store in Grattan St in the heart of Cork. After a short while it was obvious that more space was required and a move to Bachelors Quay wasn’t long in coming. This Bachelors Quay store is still here today, even with some of the original staff from the 70’s & early 80’s.
